Commit to get FIT & Lean for August!

'Evening!
So checking in on a Friday night at not quite 9 reveals what a boring life I have...
Belinda, that plane ride sounds gross. Good thing you were able to get some money back.
Amelia, glad you've got an appt for the dr's office opening. You did seem happy there.
Kristin, that had to be hard listening to your mom struggling for words. I found dog training creating a stronger bond with the dog and myself. Throwing the ball tires mine out. Yesterday after 4 times, she gave up it was so warm out. Today it could have gone on for 100. Thinking of counting it as an arm workout.
Melissa, we've all made that text error! You must be very good at managing your time to get everything done. Great workouts.
Deb, good thinking on using the stairs at Penn - space and a workout. Do you have a lot of things to carry around?
Did a lot of walking yesterday and got in more today. Also did a hiit workout yesterday.
Going to visit my ds in NYC tomorrow.

Hi,

It's quiet here tonight. Today I took a yoga class. The yoga instructor gave us a pass for 30 days of unlimited hot yoga for $30 at a studio. I'm going to try it in September it is a really good price.

Macy's was a mad house today was so happy it was Friday. So much of my stuff was on the floor for a moment I thought it was Christmas:confused:

Belinda - I was thinking if you saw the store you would have just been shaking your head;)

Cookie - I'm sure your life is not boring just really busy:) so wishing you a goodnight sleep tonight. At the NY store I load up as many clear plastic bags as I can carry to the floor so I don't have to make too many trips. No boxes are allowed on the floor. Security is tight to quote my boss it's like Fort Knox:eek:

Waves hi to everyone!

Goodnight:)
 
Hey guys. Sorry for not checking in yesterday. I spent the day at the beach with my girlfriend and her kids. Then I did Step Moves in the evening. I woke up yesterday without any leg DOMs, which I was surprised by. After sitting in a beach chair for a few hours the DOMs kicked in. Oh my! Meso 2 trisets do have a strong bite, lol.

Anyway, I woke up early this morning to get the dog out and I tried to take him for a walk by myself again. He seems to want to pull on the leash and lead, which I am not having. We are definitely going to get some obedience training. I am going to make a few phone calls today.

Deb- I hope you are right about the seeing me often approach. It scares me. What is sad is that my mom is only 63, so when she struggles in public (i.e. writing a check the other day and not knowing what year it was or how to write out the amount) people look at her funny. If it was someone older, 80-ish looking let's say, I don't think she would get the looks. People would just chalk it up to her old age. It is hard. I am very protective of her in public.

Cookie- I definitely feel a bond with the dog from training him and playing with him. I worry about what he will be like when I am at work all day. He is going to be in the crate, but I don't want him to go crazy. I know I will have to play with him when we get home and get his energy out.

Amelia- What cardio do you do at the gym? My favorite is the elliptical, but I like to do treadmill intervals too.

Okay, bb later. I have D15, back and biceps on tap.

Kristin
 
Good morning,

Yesterday ended up being a rest day. Wasn't feeling we'll. In the evening I did 15 min yoga. Today is D12 legs, yoga and abs.

Cookie - enjoy your visit with your DS. Good job, on all that walking.

Kirstin - my dogs learned a lot at obedience training. Good job on your workout. Must be tough about your mom.

Debbie - that's a fantastic deal on the yoga;) When we went to Macy's it was a mess too:confused: I was surprised. You should open your Zumba set, so much fun.

Amelia - good job with your workouts.

Melissa - what are your plans this weekend?

I will be back after my workouts. Have a wonderful weekend.
 
Morning girls,

I got a rebounder yesterday, not a fancy one but it will do for now. I got it a walmart for like 40$. I found some youtube workouts yesterday so I plan on doing one today.

So I got my schedule at work yesterday and was so upset. :( The manager is taking all of next weekend off, its Labor day weekend!! And worst of all its inventory weekend!! :mad::mad: She isn't sticking me with inventory again.:mad:

I have already went to the store manager about her and nothing was done. So I really don't have a choice but to look for another job. My husband told me to just go in and tell her off then quit:eek: :eek: I told him that was 'real mature' LOL. I will just look for another job and meanwhile put on a happy face for work like nothing is bother me. Then when I find another job turn in my two week notice. ;)

Kristin- You puppy sounds adorable! We have a boxer, she is a little over a year old now. She's a ball of energy too..so much personality. What color is your boxer pup? My cardio is usually elliptical or treadmill intervals. Lately its been power walking though...just not in the mood for high impact:confused:.

Cookie-Nice job getting in some walking. Have a great day visiting your ds today.

Belinda-awesome job on your workout

Deb-Hot yoga sounds really fun. Let us know how you like it.

Melissa- Hope you enjoyed your rest/yoga day.

Did I miss anybody?

have a nice weekend :)
 
Good morning! I forgot to check in yesterday...oops :eek: I did STS D5 and abs from CTX. Today I'm planning on doing LIC from LIS, then I have a wine tasting at 3. Tonight is my last night in the house alone until the roomies come back tomorrow. Not sure if I'm happy or sad about that lol ;). I am sad about having a billion assignments due by next week though; we haven't even started classes yet! Guess I'll get started on those tonight (what an exciting life I lead :confused:).

Deb, wow that is a great price for the hot yoga classes! I've always wanted to try that. Let us know how it is. Oh man I've been to that Macy's at Christmastime, not exactly calm there haha.

Cookie, I agree with Deb: you're not boring, just busy! Don't worry, I spent my Friday on the couch watching My So-Called Life and reliving high school lol. I loved/still love that show!

Kristin, lol @the DOMS. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. That is so difficult to deal with. I think seeing you often will help her also. {{HUGS!!!}}. Have you heard of Boardy Barn in Hampton Bays? My friend is having his bday there tomorrow and I really don't wanna go but he keeps messaging me that I need to. If this place is decent I might consider but if it sucks I'm not making that drive lol.

Belinda, hope you are feeling better today.

Amelia, your manager is a piece of work. I can't believe she took the entire weekend off :mad: I'm surprised her supervisor allowed that. I can't wait to hear when you give your 2 weeks; it will be one of the happiest moments of your life, trust me! Ah I remember mine well lol.

STS D15 back and biceps done! I decided to make our third bedroom, which is serving as an office into an office weight room. This way I can leave my weights out and not have to go back and forth to the garage to get everything I need. Love it so far, lol. I'll still do cardio in the living room because the office is on the second floor and I hate hearing all the jumping, I can imagine how DH and the boys would feel about it.

Anyway. . . kids went with my parents to the farm so it is just me and the puppy. I took a quiet shower and now I am going to take him outside.

Melissa- OMG Boardy Barn is a party place. If you go, expect to get beer poured all over you as is the custom. I went a long, long time ago when I was 21. It gets crazy there, especially on Sundays as the weekend (and Hamptons partying) comes to a close. Be warned! LOL.

Amelia- cough, cough. . . I agree with Belinda ;)

Belinda- almost done with meso 1! Doesn't it go fast?

Okay, off to take the dog out.

Kristin
 
Hi,

Today I did M2 week 3 legs (can't remember disc #). DH & I are planning to grab a bite to eat tonight. The weather is beautiful here maye eat outside.

Belinda - I hope you feel better sending healing vibes your way:(

Kristin - My MIL looks at least 10+ years older so your right people just think it's because she is older. Is your Mom on the meds that might help stabalize the disease?

Melissa - Ugh, on getting all that work already. Enjoy your free house:)

Amelia - I agree with everyone call in sick!

Cookie - Hi

Enjoy the weekend:)
 
Good morning,

I am hoping to get D12 in today:eek: Yesterday I rested all day and ate homemade chicken noodle soup. I made some a few weeks ago, glad I had some in the freezer. I think I have a stomach virus. My stomach isn't feeling well. If it doesn't get better by next week I will see a doc. My nose is still stuffed up. Not sure, if my stomach is related to my sinus/ear infection?

Debbie -thank you!! Good job on your leg workout. Hope you had fun last night.

Kirstin - good job with D15. Good for you turning your office into your weight room.

Hallo to everyone that checks in after me.

I will be back later. Have a great day.
 
Hello girls! I didn't do any homework last night :eek:. My friend moved back from AZ and she was feeling homesick so we nursed that with some sangria and Italian food! I hope this isn't the start of bad habits already :eek:

Just finished STS D6 and abs. I was running around all morning between food shopping and prepping stuff for the week since I start class tomorrow :(. I made some lower cal banana bread that I found on Pinterest but halfway thru making it I realized I needed a hand mixer so I ran to kohls literally in the middle of making it to buy one lol. I could always use a hand mixer, especially now that I'd like to start making things on my own instead of buying them. Kohls also had these mini food processors on sale for $17 which I really wanted to get but one purchase was enough for now :confused: I'm obsessed with kitchen gadgets!

Kristin, good thing I didn't go to Boardy Barn lol. I love beer and all, but not when it's on me. Good call on making the office into a weight room. I love my workout room so much, mainly because I'm a lazy slob and don't feel like re-racking my weights ;)

Belinda, I hope you feel better today. Stomach bugs are the worst!

Deb, enjoy the weather! I love eating outside. This weather is perfect, you really can't beat it.

Hello Amelia & Cookie!

Everyone is moving back to the area today for school! My friend just moved into a new house so we are going to a BBQ there soon. I can't wait to see everyone. Have a great day!
 
Hey everyone. Today is my 13th wedding anniversary. We are going to our favorite restaurant tonight and I plan on having my favorite, chocolate lava cake :p.

I have a dog trainer coming to the house tomorrow to take a look at Baxter and assess what kind of training he will need. The consultation is free, which is good. Plus, they do group classes and it is right in the town that we live in, so I am excited to see what she has to say.

Today's workout was supposed to be tabatacise, but I wasn't feeling it. I did my own mix of TTM instead (steady state step, step tabata, low impact tabata) plus AC Med Ball abs. Between the workout and playing with the puppy, walking the puppy, I think I can have my cake, lol.

Melissa- lol, I didn't like the Boardy Barn experience, which is why I only went once. Have fun at the BBQ. I like the weight room already. I too hate putting everything away at the end, especially trucking all in and out of the garage. This just makes life easier.

Belinda- hope you are feeling better today. Homemade chicken soup is the best! I just like to sip the broth when I am sick.

Deb- my mom is taking meds. Last year it took a few months to figure out the right dosage. The fact that she has diabetes and hypertension does not help with the illness.

Waving hello to Cookie and Amelia!

Kristin
 
'Evening!
Belinda, hope you feel better soon. Stomach viruses are nasty.
Amelia, I meant to tell you I have a rebounder and love it. Sometimes I wish the thing had a larger area but it takes up plenty of space already Isn't it fun just jumping?
Kristin, sure sounds like you earned your cake. Happy Anniversary!
Melissa, lol at you running out to buy a hand mixer. I also love kitchen gadgets. Then I weed them out; it is a viscious cycle.
Deb, I was speaking with a woman about doing hot yoga! A lot of people I know are really into it. However, I don't want to go to 106 degrees. That's too hot. Please let us know if you go and your thoughts.
Yesterday got in a wt and hiit workouts, plus a lot of walking. Today was more walking but also coffeecake... It was great being in NYC and seeing my son yesterday.
Cookie
 
Good morning! I definitely don't miss waking up at 5am lol :rolleyes: I did P90X chest & back this morning. Already set up my coffee maker to pour me a HUGE cup of coffee to bring to class! At least we get out at 2 today, since one of our classes was already cancelled :confused:

Kristin, happy anniversary!!!! That is awesome that the dog trainer can come by and do an assessment. LOL you definitely earned that cake yesterday! Awesome job.

Cookie, besides the food processor my next goal is to get an ice cream maker lol. I'm thinking about stealing my moe's since she never uses it ;). Awesome workouts yesterday! I'm glad you had a great time in the city :D

Have a great day everyone!!
 
'Evening!
Belinda, hope you're feeling better. Heck of a way to lose weight!
Amelia, what grades are your children in at school?
Melissa, one of my best investments was in a KitchenAide stand mixer. It gets used a ton and have had it for over 25 years. My other fav appliance is a Vitamix! It makes awesome smoothies. Class canceled already?
Kristin, when do you go back? I do teacher academy, a two-week before school series of pd for untenured teachers. And we're still hiring!
Deb, you sure have gotten into yoga this year. What results are you noticing from it?
Did some pushups and other upper body this morning.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I'm doing the countdown till I only have to do my stores again. 1 or 2 more times to NYC need to check with my boss.

No workout today except running for the train I thought I was going to miss:confused: but had time to spare. I was so out of breath:eek: In the stockroom running away from this big bug not sure what it was but hoping none of them tried to hitch a ride home with me:eek:

Belinda - I hope your feeling better. Cookie is right that is some way to lose weight!

Kristin - Just heard our schools don't start till 9/9 seem late. Happy 13th Anniversary!!! Your earned the chocolate cake:)

Melissa - Getting out early on the 1st day of school:cool: I always heard beer is good for your hair LOL. I love kitchen gadgets too! I have gone back & forth on a cappuccino maker saw a cheap one in Walmart.

Cookie - I've thought about getting a Vitamix & stand mixer. Unfortunately do not experience weight loss with yoga (maybe hot yoga LOL) but have noticed strength in my upper body, flexibility & balance improved. Too bad you weren't in NYC today;)

Amelia - Waves hi

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning girls! Today I did P90X plyo. I always say I think Cathe's HIITs are sooooo much harder; I dunno if thats is a good or bad thing lol.

So this summer, it was just me and my roommate S living in the house. My other roommate B was at her parents' house for the summer. Now she's back here and I feel like the dynamic has totally changed. She is so negative all the time and I can't stand it! And I dunno if she's trying to be funny or what but sometimes the comments she makes are totally uncalled for. I noticed last night S would sit in the living room if it was just me, but as soon as B came in, he left. He did that at the old house too. This is gonna sound really mean but I kinda miss how it was over the summer. Ugh. Trying to make the best of it.

Cookie, I heard of vitamix and I want one so bad but they are expensive. Maybe that will be my present to myself when I get my first job :D. Nice workout yesterday!

Deb, you're almost there! I bet you can't wait to be done with NYC. :eek: at the stockroom stowaway bug.

Waving hello to Amelia, Kristin, and Belinda! Have a great day ladies!!
 
'Evening!
Belinda, how are you feeling today? My sinuses often bother my stomach. The irritation from the mucous in the system makes it acidic.
Amelia, how are you?
Kristin, I got a couple of new dresses and am thinking of them as back to school clothes. Thinking if I dress like I know what I'm doing, maybe I will. Do you get new things to get in the swing of things?
Deb, I heard there were Christmas decorations up in some NYC stores! We should meet up in the city for a day!
Not much just push ups today. But a lot and a variety.
Cookie
 
Hi,

NYC was a bit quiet today for NYC that is. I went to a couple of my stores after going to the city. I was so bummed today I think I either dropped about $60-$80 when I had a slice of pizza in NY or when I went to the vegetable stand on my way home:( I usually don't carry very much money & this morning I thought I should leave some home. DH was cute he kept asking me if I checked all my bags & he had put his money in there so I wouldn't feel bad:) I'm going to stop by the vegetable stand & see if anyone found it:confused:

I'm going to try & double up on my workouts tomorrow.

Belinda - I hope your feeling better.

Melissa - It's tough being around negative people it must be harder to live with one:( Hopefully it will turn around for you. Cathe's hiits are hard, wondering how the new workouts will be.

Cookie - I have seen Halloween decorations & candy but not Christams yet. How long does it take you to get to NYC? I found some good deals at Macy's today NYC has an amazing selection. The shoe department is enormous!

Waves hi to Kristin & Amelia

Goodnight:)
